Ideally (hey I'm saying ideally I know its wishful thinking :) )

I think if you clicked to the get fedora page, it would have a rundown 
of the different spins with links to the direct downloads for each via 
each download method. You know, you shop for a product, figure out which 
one you want, and then you figure out the logistics of paying for it and 
shipping it... weird analogy but I think it makes sense.

Maybe for each of the download links 'mocked up' below (there are 5) 
make a version of the current get fedora page we have now explaining 
download methods... ugh, i don't know. :( we have spin | architecture | 
obtaining method which makes these pages very difficult to do in a 
simple and usable way statically I think.

Anyway, from what I know of the spins, which may very well be wrong, I 
would organize a spin explanation page like this:

= Live Images =

Want to try Fedora, but don't want to deal with the hassle of backing up 
and reinstalling, or setting up dual boot on your system? Live Images, 
new for Fedora 7, are just what you need. Simply download the image, 
burn it to a disk, leave it in your disc drive and reboot your system. 
That's it. No risk, no hassle. Choose which desktop environment you'd 
like (if you're not sure, GNOME is the Fedora default) and download the 
appropriate image for your hardware below.

== GNOME ==
Simplicity and ease of use. These are the core focus of the GNOME 
Desktop Environment. Learn more at gnome.org.

== KDE ==
Conquer your desktop! The K Desktop Environment (KDE) emphasizes power 
and customization. Learn more at kde.org.

= Fedora =

The full Fedora operating system spin is a set of the core packages 
included in Fedora, suitable for installation on standard desktop 
workstation. Choose this version if you'd like to install Fedora fresh 
on a new system or if you'd like to replace the operating system on an 
existing system.
